Behavior and Tank Safety
Reef Safe: They do not eat corals or fish, making them great cleanup crew members.
Bulldozer Tendencies: Their strength can knock over unsecured coral frags or loose rock work.
Getting Stuck: They cannot always right themselves if they fall upside down on the sand, so they may need your help to flip back over
